Miami Marlins right-hander Henderson Alvarez will replace injured Washington pitcher Jordan Zimmermann on the National League roster for Tuesday night's All-Star game at Target Field in Minnesota. Zimmermann left Friday night's start against Philadelphia after 3 1-3 innings because of a right biceps injury. The roster change was announced Saturday. Alvarez, a first-time All-Star, is 6-4 with a 2.63 ERA and three shutouts in 19 starts.
